So I find it interesting that, for some people, Jeb Bush’s brother and Hillary Clinton seem to be basically interchangeable. Politico.com reports,

Former President George W. Bush was supposed to give a speech to Ameriprise Financial conference in Boston next week but had to bow out because he’s recovering from surgery on a bum knee. But the financial services firm was able to secure a prominent substitute speaker: Hillary Clinton.

Bush, who has also been on the paid speaking circuit, was anticipated as the main attraction at the event, sources said. But a Bush aide confirmed that he had to drop out after he had a second partial knee replacement surgery last weekend in Chicago. His first surgery, on the other knee, was in May.

So Clinton was tapped as the replacement. The precise date of her speech wasn’t immediately clear, but the conference is July 23-27.

Clinton aides declined to comment. An Ameriprise spokesman did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Ameriprise is a financial services firm that was spun off from American Express almost a decade ago.
